Azevedo, 21, recorded 36 points (12-24=36) and 31 penalty minutes in 49 regular season games with the Manchester Monarchs, the Kings’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, this past season. The 5-7, 180-pound native of West Lorne, Ont., finished seventh on the Monarchs in scoring even though he missed a significant part of his rookie season in the AHL because of two injuries.

Prior to his stint with the Monarchs, Azevedo spent four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Kitchener Rangers. During his last season there, he was named the OHL’s Most Outstanding Player after posting a league-high 124 points, 81 assists and 56 power-play assists in 2007-08. Additionally, he was seventh in the OHL with 43 goals, had an overall rating of plus-24 and was named to the OHL All-Star Team that same season.

Azevedo also had a strong 2008 postseason with the Rangers as he led the OHL with 36 playoff points (10-26=36) and tied for first with 26 playoff assists. Azevedo was at his best during the 2008 Memorial Cup as he led all scorers in the tournament with 11 points (4-7=11) in five games.

Kitchener lost to the Western Hockey League’s (WHL) Spokane Chiefs in the 2008 Memorial Cup Finals.

Bagnall, 25, recorded six points (0-6=6) and 150 penalty minutes in 79 regular season games with the Kings’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, this past season. His penalty minute total ranked second on the Monarchs as did his total of 79 games played.

Bagnall, a 6-3, 222-pound native of Oakbank, Manitoba, made his professional debut with Reading of the ECHL in the 2007-08 season, totaling three points (1-2=3) and 32 penalty minutes in 10 regular season games. After the 10-game stint, he was recalled to Manchester where he recorded 12 points (1-11=12) and 115 penalty minutes in 54 regular season games. Bagnall also appeared in four postseason games with the Monarchs that same season, going scoreless with four penalty minutes in the four games.

Bagnall, who originally signed with the Kings as an unrestricted free agent on Aug. 23, 2007, turned pro after four seasons with St. Lawrence University (NCAA). He was a first-team All America, ECACHL Player of the Year, ECACHL Outstanding Defensive Defenseman award winner and Hobey Baker award finalist during his senior season there (2006-07), recording 25 points (6-19=25), a team-leading 74 penalty minutes and a plus-10 rating in 39 games. He also led all club defensemen in goals, assists and points while serving as captain of the team, helping the Saints win the 2006-07 ECACHL regular season title before advancing to the NCAA Northeast Regional Semifinals. Bagnall closed his amateur career at St. Lawrence University by earning ECACHL All-Academic honors for the third straight season.
